Abstract
A golf putter has a substantially cylindrical club head made from a tough, resilient, non-metallic plastic material such as acetal polymer (e.g., Delrin or Celcon); has weight-receiving receptacles recessed in each of the heel and toe ends; and weight inserts within the weight-receiving receptacles. The diameter of the cylindrical club head, e.g., one and one-quarter inches, is smaller than the diameter of a ball to be played. A visual alignment mark extends circumferentially partially around the cylindrical body at a position equidistant between the heel and toe ends and thus, just toward the toe end from the position at which a conventional shaft is coupled to the club head.

A golf putter comprising:
- (A) a generally cylindrical club head, said club head including:
- 1. a main body portion fabricated from acetal resin, said main body portion having:

- b. a first weight-receiving receptacle recessed in said heel end;
- c. a second weight-receiving receptacle recessed in said toe end;
- and
- d. a shaft-end-receiving aperture extending from an outer periphery surface of said main body portion and terminating at a position within said main body portion;
- 2. a first weight insert residing in said first weight-receiving receptacle, said first weight insert being characterized as having a higher weight-per-volume ratio than said plastic material;
- and
- 3. a second weight insert residing in said second weight-receiving receptacle, said second weight insert being characterized as having a higher weight-per-volume ratio than said plastic material;
